Another Special Life in Christ
These testimony lives are not stories of "role models". Jesus is the
role model!
These are lives wonderfully touched & changed by Jesus!
Oswald
Chambers:
A follower of Jesus since a lad, he yearned for a
closer walk. "I was in Dunoon College as a tutor in philosophy when Dr. F. B. Meyer came and
spoke about the Holy Spirit...
He preached and taught for a time in the USA and
Japan. He founded the Bible Training College in London in 1911. Early in his young ministry
years in a small English village...his preaching highly popular for miles around...his
reputation and career were temporarily smashed by a lie. A young woman to whom he had
ministered later came forward and charged Chambers with sexual assault. He was forced out of
that church but refused to become embittered, laying the situation before God in prayer. In
July 1915 he was appointed to YMCA overseas duty with the British troops in Egypt, where he
later died (buried o=in old Cairo cemetery).
The currently highly popular devotional book, "My Utmost
for His Highest" is a posthumous collection of talks transcribed from notes taken by his
wife. Mrs. Chambers once observed that the devotional collection seemed most popular with
those who took their RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD SERIOUSLY. Out of initial scandalous tragedy, God
raised up a man whose interpretative words regarding Christianity would endure. Faith is
required in order to perceive God at work in this. I have benefited by the daily devotionals
in this book year after year since it was given to me as a Father's Day present in
1993.
Old charges
behind a great word: Oswald Chambers (1874 - 1917) was born in Scotland and forsook a university
degree for a course of study at Dunoon Bible Training College.
